Ordering honey online is easy. Ordering honey you are happy with takes a little more care. When you cannot taste the honey or hold the jar, the product page has to do the work. Here is what to look for when you order premium honey for delivery in Dubai and across the UAE.
What a good honey listing should tell you
- Origin: the country, and ideally the region, where the honey was made.
- Floral source: for example Sidr, wildflower or Manuka.
- Ingredients: 100% honey, or the exact extra ingredients in a blend.
- Size: the weight of the jar, so you can compare prices fairly.
- Taste and texture: an honest description, not just big words.
- Storage: how to keep the honey at its best.
If a listing only says "pure" or "premium" with no details, ask questions before you buy.

Before you check out
- Check the jar size and how many jars you are ordering.
- Enter a full address and a phone number, so the driver can reach you.
- If it is a gift, add a note and the recipient's details.
- Read the return and guarantee policy. Balqees offers a purity guarantee.
When your order arrives
Check that the jar is sealed and that the product matches your order. Store it at room temperature, away from direct sun. If raw honey looks cloudy or has started to crystallise, that is natural and does not mean anything is wrong. Stand the closed jar in warm water to soften it.
If something is not right, contact the seller straight away with your order number and a photo.
Frequently asked questions
Does Balqees deliver across the UAE?
Yes. We deliver to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and all the other emirates. See where to buy raw honey in the UAE.
Is raw honey the same as unfiltered honey?
Not exactly. Raw means not pasteurised or heavily processed. Unfiltered means not finely filtered. Read our guide to honey labels.
Can I send honey as a gift?
Yes. Browse the Balqees gifting collection and add the recipient's address at checkout.
What if my honey crystallises?
That is natural for raw honey. Warm the closed jar in warm water and it will soften again.
